Food at World of Beer Tampa International

Anyone who knows me knows that if they invite me out for drinks, there'd better be food involved, which is why I was so excited to learn of the newest World of Beer (WOB) location at Tampa International and the options on its tavern menu. Most people's reaction when it comes to World of Beer and food: "Wait - they serve food?Yes, yes they do, and it's pretty darn delicious.

My sister and I had the chance to squeeze some twinnie time in just before the Thanksgiving holiday and checked out the menu for ourselves. The two-story space itself is vast and gorgeous - the venue also features outdoor seating accompanied with fire pits and a flight deck on the second level with its own bar. Inside, you can keep track of arriving and departing flights at Tampa International Airport.

One cool thing to note is the infusion tower located at the bar inside - WOB works with breweries to develop flavor infusions that pair best with beers, and these infusions rotate regularly. Our server noted that the last infusion offered was a mix of chocolate and cherries - YUM.

We opted for our favorite lambic beers this time around.

German Pretzel: Served with a house-made stone ground mustard.

Steak Frites: Marinated flat-iron steak grilled & thinly sliced, served with steamed broccoli, fries & garlic aioli for dipping.

IPA Salmon: Fresh Grilled Salmon, brushed with WOB Spicy IPA Glaze, Red skin mashed potatoes & steamed broccoli.

My must-order picks:

German Pretzel: This is definitely shareable, and you cannot go wrong with ordering a side of WOB's house-made beer cheese to go along with it. The texture is that of a perfect soft-baked pretzel - just a touch of crispiness on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

Steak Frites: The steak is seasoned just right - I requested mine medium-rare and it came out perfectly. Fries were as good as steak-cut fries can get (I'm more of a thin-cut fries girl).
